 When your winning auction ends, you will receive an email copy of your invoice.  Check your invoice carefully to verify that your contact information and the vehicle(s) listed is/are correct.  Please make sure that the phone number we have on file (contained in your invoice email) is correct.

 You will receive another email with a signed paid-in-full invoice once your payment has been made to and processed by Surplus Property. This email will detail the contact information and instructions required to complete the sale and release of your vehicle.

 Titles for vehicles ten (10) years or older will be mailed to you once payment is received. For vehicles newer than ten (10) years old, those titles will be mailed to the vehicle site.  You will be contacted to schedule the pick-up of the unit once the site receives the title.  Please contact DOV License & Title at (217) 782-2536, extension 221 to check on title status.

CMS Surplus property will allow sufficient time to pick-up your vehicle after the title is mailed to you or the vehicle site; however, you must remove the vehicle in a timely manner.  If you anticipate a delay in removing your purchased vehicle(s), you must contact Marc Patkus at CMS Surplus Property to make mutually agreeable removal arrangements. If this is not accomplished, the vehicle may be considered "abandoned property", and will be treated as such, up to and possibly including utilizing a tow-away service.   All costs charged by the tow-away service for the removal of the "abandoned property" will be the responsibility of the vehicle's new owner.

For those vehicles that are newer than 10 model years (these vehicles must comply with the Federal Truth in Mileage Act), the Certificate of Title must be properly assigned to the buyer, signed by the Seller along with the printed name of the Seller, the current mileage of the vehicle  indicated in the “Odometer Reading” section, and signed by the Buyer along with the printed name of the Buyer at the time of sale or delivery(or their appointed agent with a properly completed Secure Power of Attorney).
